Hi,
I am using ELK stack version 7.1.0 and i send my logs using logstash.
Now,
All my logs are getting into one index. I want create index daily basis and store those logs of that particular day in that particular index.
Previously when i used 6.8 version elasticsearch used to create a index each day on its own .
please help me solve it.
logstash.conf
> input {
> file {
> path =\> "/home/Desktop/a.log"
> start\_position =\> "beginning"
> }
> }
> filter {
> grok {
> match =\> { "message" =\> "%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:date}%{GREEDYDATA:message}" } }
> }
> output {
> elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }
> stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
> }

You should be able to achieve this by adding an **index** specification within the **elasticsearch** output element in your logstash.conf, for instance like this:
```
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
```
For more info see [Elasticsearch output plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-index).

Thanks @Bernt_Rostad for the reply.
But it isn't helping i think my index name is getting overwritted by my index life cycle policy.

Sorry to hear that, I have no experience with ILM yet so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Solved by making the following changes.
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]
index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
**manage\_template =\> false**
user =\> elastic
password =\> \*\*\*\*\*\*\*
}
}
